DOLL.

Application :filed May 3, 1921. Serial No. 466,423.

To all whom t may concern."

Be it known that I, KATHAINE S. BRY- DONE-JACK, citizen of the Dominionof Canada, residing at Glacier, in the Province of British Columbia,Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Dolls, ofwhich the following is a specica-- The @1011, whichl is the subjea ofthis,

application, is made of a material having a surface which is notreceptive to dirt, is therefore lasting in its cleanliness, and whensoiled, can be readily washed and-its original colour and freshnessfully restored. The surface of the material isalso such as can bebrightly and artistically colored, and the doll is made in a manner thatit will retain its original form.

The invention is fully described in the following specification,reference being made to the drawings Vby which it is accompanied, inwhich:

Fig. l is a front view of a doll made in accordance with myrequirements.l

Fig. 2 is a cross section of the same.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail showing the means by which the hair ofV thedoll is represented. l

The body of thev doll is constructed of front and back layers 2 and 3 ofoilcloth or the like material, wherein a fabric is surfaced with adressing which is impervious to moisture and impenetrable to dirt. Thetwo layers 2 and 3 are cut and painted or printed to represent theoutline of a child or an animal from opposite sides. The hair may bepainted or printed on the oilcloth, but is preferably represented withwool or other material of a suitable color, sewn through the cloth andlooped on the outer side, somewhat as shown in Fig. 3.

The arms are preferably connected to the body throughout their length,as shown in the drawing, or through the greater part of their length,and the legs, where shown,

may be joined together throughout their length or adjacent the feet,tosave them being torn off in the rough handling to. which they areexposed. y e

These front and backportions 2 and 3 arev sewn together around theiredges as at 4, and the space between the back and front isstuifed withany suitable material in a manner to show the body and limbs in variousamounts of bas relief proportioned` to the part they represent, that is,without eX- cessivev rotundity.

Lines of stitches 5 may be introduced where' necessary to indicate thelines of 'con-i nection of the head and limbs to the body.

When completed the entire surfaceA and particularly round the edges, maybe varnished not only to protect'the paint but to Aenhance the washablecharacter of the surface.

in manufacturing, the material mayin sheet form be printed inthe colorsto rep-lV` V resent the parts they are designed to show,

and thereafter be cut with dies. f

Attention is particularly directed to the sanitary and washablecharacter of thematerial, and to the artistic finish which that materialis susceptible of having imparted to it.

. Also to the fact that the parts are edge sewn so as to preserve thecontour of the doll under rough usage. n

To the manner in which the hair is represented: n .l

To the coloured representation of the flesh andv of the material of thechilds clothing.

eov

Also to the manner of connectingy the limbs to the body'or to oneanother throughout the greater' part of their length, where-r b vuntimely destruction is avoided.

. And finally to the inishing coat of. varnish,

whereby the edges of the seams are protected bothl as regards theirstrength and against y the possible adherence of dirt.

A particularly attractive childs toy or doll may thus be made which isfree from `the numerous objections vusually chargeable against dolls ofthis class. A s f Although the foregoing description andillustration areparticularly directed to .the representation of afchild, the sameconstruction is also applicable to the representation of animals, withthe same advantages.

Having now particularly described my in" f vention,-I hereby declarethatwhat I claim as new and desire to be protected in by Letters Patent, is:l

A ehilds doll made or' two layers ot' oileloth or the like material eachlayer out and paintedAL` to represent the outline of the doll fromopposite sides7 the limbs being connected to the body or to one anotherthroughout the greater parto their length, said vlayers being flatsealnedtogether round t their edges and lightly Stued between withl l0any suit-able material and Surface coated with a water-proofing'-Inaterial. t

In testimony whereof I aiX iny signature.

KATHARINE S. BRYDONE-JACK.
